Graeter's, New Riff Distilling collab for new bourbon ice cream. Here's what's in it
A new Graeter's Ice Cream collaboration is hitting the shelves (no, we're not talking about the Graeter's-Skyline Chili concoction that nearly broke the internet earlier this year). The Cincinnati-based ice cream chain is teaming up with New Riff Distilling to launch a brand-new flavor: Graeter's Bourbon Ball Ice Cream. The dessert incorporates the Northern Kentucky-based distillery's award-winning bourbon with Graeter's beloved small-batch French Pot ice cream. So what's in it? The collaboration is bourbon-infused ice cream with whiskey-glazed pecans and dark chocolate chips. It's also made using a hand-selected single barrel of New Riff bourbon. 'We are thrilled to collaborate with New Riff Distilling to create a flavor that celebrates two iconic treats: Kentucky Bourbon and ice cream,' Graeter's President and CEO Richard Graeter said in a press release. 'Working with the team at New Riff to taste and select a special Single Barrel, our team has created the perfect fusion of our hand-crafted process and New Riff's exceptional distilling, delivering a unique experience that honors the rich flavors of Kentucky.' The new flavor is available to order now at It will be available at New Riff's Gift Shop, 24 Distillery Way in Newport, beginning Saturday, April 12, and all Graeter's scoop shops starting Monday, April 14.

Eater applauds Graeter's Skyline ice cream, says Travis Kelce can 'eat his words'
Travis Kelce was totally wrong for dissing Graeter's Skyline Chili-flavored ice cream, according to a national dining reporter. Amy McCarthy, a reporter for Eater, the national food and dining brand owned by Vox Media, admitted she was unsure about the new collaboration between the two Cincinnati brands, but ultimately gave a glowing review. She dubbed the treat "a dose of comforting nostalgia for a lifelong Cincinnatian" and "a fun way to introduce a total stranger to the magic of Skyline chili." "In the ice cream, I tasted allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, maybe a little clove. That combo is, of course, also extremely popular in desserts and baked goods, and it makes total sense in a pint of ice cream," she wrote, noting there isn't actual chili in the treat. The Dallas-based food reporter identified a "quite pleasant" savory taste in the ice cream that keeps the treat from tasting too much like eggnog or cinnamon rolls. She also applauded the brands' use of the classic Skyline oyster crackers for a hint of saltiness that "somehow remained crispy despite being smothered in cream and frozen." McCarthy's review, published Wednesday, went on to criticize Kelce, a University of Cincinnati Bearcats alum, for writing off the Greater's/Skyline collab as "disgusting" in his "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. "Perhaps if the Chiefs win their record third consecutive Super Bowl, Travis Kelce ... will also be ready to eat his words and celebrate with a nice, cool bowl of Skyline chili ice cream," McCarthy wrote. The star Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is a documented Cincinnati-style chili hater, said in Wednesday's podcast episode that there was no chance he would try the flavor. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great and fellow UC alum, said he's, "a sucker for these stupid new food item things," name checking Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco. According to McCarthy, though, Graeter's Skyline Spice ice cream sets itself apart from other brand collaborations. "There's a sense with a lot of these 'brand collabs' that they're just marketing stunts ... but that's not the case here." Skyline Spice is currently available in 5-ounce scoops at all Skyline restaurants. It is also available to purchase by the pint or by the scoop at all Graeter's scoop shops and by the pint at select Kroger stores throughout Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville. Availability may vary by location, though, so it's always best to call your local store and/or restaurant ahead of time. The new flavor is also available nationwide through This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Eater applauds Graeter's Skyline ice cream, criticizes Travis Kelce

Why marketing magic has made Graeter's Skyline ice cream the talk of the town
The Graeter's ice cream and Skyline chili pairing has this community on fire, chatting and tasting and reporting through every available channel. What's going on? Today's consumer is inundated with product messages from every direction. The competition for eyeballs, interest and trial/purchase is fierce. Breaking through is every brand and marketer's dream. And, breaking through can happen because it is intuitive ('That makes a ton of sense. I'm in.') or counter-intuitive ('Huh? I want and need to learn more?') Brands like to create unique experiences for their consumers. Ideally, these experiences tap into shared brand values to expand audience reach. Yes, it's the age old: 1 + 1= 3. These two Cincinnati brand favorites seem to have found marketing magic. Everyone is talking about the pairing, as odd as it may seem at first to many. Those discussions range from 'What a great partnership; I just gotta try it,' to, 'Nope, not for me. Well, maybe, I'll try it.' More: Travis Kelce says there's no chance he'll try 'disgusting' Graeter's Skyline Chili flavor Is something new happening here or is this just the latest example of a brand pairing that succeeds at expanding each product's market share? It's the latter. Let's look at some other odd pairings that, whether intuitively or counterintuitively, also have worked: Sweet treats and soda: A natural pairing, Peeps & Pepsi teamed-up in 2021 to create a limited-run of Peeps-flavored soda. They brought it back in 2023 for a nationwide limited run. Extreme sports and energy drinks: GoPro and Red Bull joined nearly three decades ago to jump-start the extreme sports lifestyle. 'Red Bull Gives You Wings' was introduced in the late '90s and inspired enthusiasts to push cringe-worthy boundaries. What started as an odd pair seems to have morphed into an obvious or intuitive collaboration. Skincare and processed meats: In 2022, Oscar Meyer teamed up with Seoul Mamas, a Korean skincare company, to create a bologna-themed, moisturizing face mask. It sold out in hours. Seriously. Unexpected pair: Snoop and Martha have joined to promote various brands and products to increase audience share. Stewart's elegance, with a hint of bad girl, and Snoop's laid-back, American rapper persona, have come together to promote many consumer products. In a stroke of marketing genius, they were the darling couple of 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Good Girl – Bad Boy: From literature to movies, this uncommon and, maybe, counter-intuitive coupling, never disappoints. The Taylor Swift – Travis Kelsey relationship, with her history-making Eras Tour and his equally historic run for a Super Bowl three-peat, has dramatically increased female viewership of NFL games and resulted in a 400% increase in the sale of Travis Kelsey jerseys. In the world of marketing and brand-building, there's nothing new about well-played collaborations, whether built on commonality or a natural urge to cover your eyes and peek through your fingers at the scary movie. They work to build brands and audience share. How to get your hands on the treat: Where is Graeter's Skyline Chili ice cream being sold? 'Skyline Spice Ice Cream,' teased out last year on social media, is now being sold online nationwide, at Skyline restaurants, in Graeter's scoop shops and by the pint at select Kroger stores. Skyline and Graeter's seemed to have nailed this relationship which even they referred to as 'wacky-yet-wonderful.' Good for them. As for me, I'm a traditionalist and am still peeking through my fingers at this one. A native Cincinnatian, I love Skyline and I love Graeter's. Up until now, I've loved eating them one right after the other. I suspect, though, that I'll be trying this unlikely combo soon, just like everyone else. Nick Vehr is the founder and CEO of Vehr Communications, a Cincinnati-based marketing and public relations firm. A lifetime Cincinnatian, Skyline is his go-to for a quick, casual lunch and pints of various Graeter's flavors fill his freezer.
